Paint Scheme Grades-April 11, 2026

By David G. Firestone

Ross Chastain #1 Busch Light Fishing Chevy Camaro-Not a bad look at all. A

Austin Cindric #2 Menards/Tarkett Ford Mustang-Same scheme as last year, same A grade.

Kyle Busch #8 Bank OZK Chevy Camaro-Same scheme as last year, same A- grade.

Ty Dillon #10 Ohio Logistics Chevy Camaro-A good look with a great color scheme will always earn an A.

Ryan Blaney #12 Discount Tire Ford Mustang-Same scheme as last year, same A grade.

Chase Briscoe #19 Lance Snacks Toyota Camry-A smooth look with a great color scheme will always earn an A.

Bubba Wallace #23 WWE/Chumba Casino Toyota Camry-I like the color scheme, but the design scheme is awful. It’s too over designed. This gets a C.

John Hunter Nemechek #42 Dollar Tree Toyota Camry-Good color scheme, awful design scheme, this gets a C.

Tyler Reddick #45 Comparion Insurance Toyota Camry-I do kind of like this scheme, but the darkest blue isn’t really needed, and the car is kind of over designed. B

Cody Ware #51 Costa Oil Chevy Camaro-Same scheme as last year, same A grade.

Ryan Preece #60 Kroger/Muscle Milk Ford Mustang-When done well, a sky motif looks great. This is well done. A

Chad Finchum #66 Brian King Roofing Ford Mustang-My only complaint here is that the house motif could be moved back a bit. Otherwise, this is an A scheme.

I'm just a normal guy who collects race-worn driver suits, helmets, sheet metal, and other race-worn items. I will use this blog to help collectors, and race fans alike understand the various aspects of driver suits and helmets, and commentate on paint schemes.
